Golfer Emiliano Grillo was sent into panic mode in Rio airport after an airline mislaid his clubs ahead of the Olympic Games.
The Argentinian is due to tee off in Rio on Thursday morning, but his preparations were hugely disrupted by the American Airlines mishap.
Grillo, ranked 39th in the world, tweeted in desperation on Monday evening:
@AmericanAir delays, rerouting and 20+ calls can't find my golf bag. I am going to miss my chance to compete in the Olympics. @Rio2016

He continued to document the frantic hunt for his clubs on social media as he feared missing out on golf's return to the Olympics:
@AmericanAir seriously, find me a human in JFK, MIA, or Sao Paolo that can physically look for my bag and confirm where it is and send it.

He even asked his followers to vote in a poll, asking if they thought his clubs were in New York, Rio, Hong Kong or Ibiza.
But there was a happy ending on Tuesday morning as Grillo tweeted a picture of himself hugging his recovered bag:
I am never letting you go again... Until next flight... 😆
